#Creativity #Performer #Extrovert #Introvert #Personality  Recounting his recording sessions with the young Michael Jackson , famed record producer Quincy Jones remembers that "Michael was so shy, he'd sit down and sing behind the couch with his back to me while I sat with my hands over my eyes -- and the lights off."

Preliminary data suggest that self-compassion can even influence how much we eat and may help some people lose weight. This idea does seem at odds with the advice dis...
